💡 What: Replaced the single shared job queue deque with a global_jobs deque and an array of server_jobs deques. Workers now check their own server-specific queue before falling back to the global queue.

🎯 Why: Previously, workers finding a job needed to iterate over the entire queue O(N) and then call .remove(job) which is also O(N), resulting in an O(N²) complexity bottleneck. This became severely pronounced as the number of unresolved/deferred messages grew.

📊 Impact: This drastically improves the asymptotic bounds of the worker loop. Searching and claiming jobs went from potentially worst-case O(N²) to strict O(1) operations. Based on isolated tests, dispatching 50,000 jobs went from taking ~1.8 seconds down to taking near 0 seconds.

🔬 Measurement:

  • Benchmarked synthetic scheduling isolated from NNTP overhead.
  • Passed all unit tests in the unittest suite testing network verification edge cases.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Optimized internal job scheduling logic to improve work distribution and prioritization among concurrent workers.

Walkthrough

The _Verifier job scheduling model shifts from a single shared deque to a two-tier queue system. New work enters global_jobs; deferred work enters per-server server_jobs queues. Job selection prioritizes server-local work before falling back to global work, altering concurrent worker job distribution while preserving NNTP logic.

Changes

Job Queue Scheduling Model

Layer / File(s) Summary
Data structure initialization
verify_nzb.py
_Verifier declares global_jobs deque and server_jobs list of per-server deques, replacing the previous single shared job queue.
Job selection with server-local preference
verify_nzb.py
_take_job is rewritten to consume from server_jobs[server_index] first, then fall back to global_jobs, updating message state flags on selection.
Enqueueing new and deferred work
verify_nzb.py
_enqueue_message places newly added message IDs into global_jobs; _defer_message_locked places deferred/retried work into the target server's server_jobs[server_index] queue.

A rabbit hops through queues of work,
Now sorted by their server's quirk—
Global baskets, local troves,
Each worker picks what most it loves! 🐰📦
